This chapter describes setting up communication between:
The inverter and the monitoring platform through the Internet (wired/ wireless),
or through a cellular connection.
Multiple inverters for a master/slave configuration.
Communication setup is not required for power harvesting, however it is needed for
using the monitoring platform.
CAUTION!
When connecting the communication cables, make sure that the ON/OFF
switch at the bottom of the inverter (and the switch of the DC Safety Unit if
applicable) is turned OFF, and the AC is turned OFF.
When configuring the communication parameters while the inverter cover is
removed , make sure that the ON/OFF switch (and the switch of the DC Safety
Unit if applicable) is OFF, and the AC is turned ON.
